CMake has no formal knowledge of such decorations. This may change in the future but for now it is up to user code to deal with them. > Up till now, I've used a variable (eg. = "-gcc-mt-s") that the user must > set during configure; but this seems like sub optimal solution.

Are you talking about finding the installed boost library with a FIND_LIBRARY? You should be able to identify most of the information you need to compute the name of the desired library in CMake code. For example: IF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX) SET(TOOLSET "-gcc") ENDIF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX) IF(MSVC7) SET(TOOLSET "-vc7") ENDIF(MSVC7) -Brad _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
